Well that's what it means. My story begins, and ends, with summer. It was the only time I was ever truly happy. It was the only time I had friends who liked me. It was the only time I was inspired to do anything.

But you must remember: I am not Juliet. Nor am I a princess from a fairytale. I'm not pretty or even particularly special.

Firstly I refer to the first definition and this is where our story begins. Next I mean the third, but I will get to that soon. So let me tell you how my summer ( first and third definitions ) began.
